USAGE
IMPORTANT USAGE WARNING
The Rear View Camera System is designed to help the driver safely detect
people and/or objects helping to avoid damage or injury. However, you the
driver, must use it properly. Use of this system is not a substitute for safe,
proper or legal driving.
Never back up while looking at the monitor alone. You should always check
behind and around the vehicle when backing up, in the same way as you
would if the vehicle did not have the Rear View Camera System. If you back
up while looking only at the monitor, you may cause damage or injury. Always
back up slowly.
Rear View Camera Systems are not intended for use during extensive back-
up maneuvers or backing into cross trac or pedestrian walkways.
Please, always remember, the area displayed by the Rear View Camera
System is limited. It does not display the entire panorama that is behind you.
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY, INCLUDING LOSS OF LIFE. BE SURE TO OBEY ALL
APPLICABLE LOCAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS AS IT
PERTAINS TO THIS PRODUCT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

BEFORE DRILLING
Please check that no cable or wiring is on the other side of the
wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce the possibility
of them being damaged while vehicle is in use. Keep all cables
away from hot or moving parts and electrical noisy components.
We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation
to insure that all components are working properly.
CABLE INSTALLATION
Step 1:
Be sure to position the cable properly. Rear View Safety cables use
aircraft grade connectors which means the cable can be exposed to all
weather elements. Do not run the cable over sharp edges, do not kink the
cable and keep away from HOT and rotating parts.
Step 2:
Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable.
MONITOR INSTALLATION
Step 1:
To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the headliner use
self-tapping screws and/or the adhesive pad.
Step 2:
Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum
driver viewing comfort. (See figure 1.1 on page 8)
